Ok, so since I'm a stay at home mom, obviously I don't get very much adult interaction during the weekday. A neighbor friend of mine is also a stay at home mom, but her daughter goes to preschool for 2 hours, 2 days a week! Nice little break! I babysit, so I have 5 kids under the age of 3 here all day. (I know, I'm crazy)
SO, my neighbor came over today during her "break time" and I put all the little ones down for naps and we just sat and talked for 2 hours! Seriously, we talked for 2 hours straight!!! And it seemed like we talked about everything!!!! I am a huge conversation jumper anyway...but between the two of us it was almost dizzying!
But it felt really good to have that time to be able to talk about things!

boy do i know how you feel. my kids are 4, 2 and 1 month. i also babysit an 18 month old and his mom is pregnant again, so this spring i will have 5 kids under 6 years old. (my daughter will be 5 in 2 weeks) the mother of the kids i watch calls to check on him and we talk forever on the phone. i am always starved for adult conversation. you'd think i was a single mom because my husband is no use. i'm thinking about picking up some evening shifts somewhere just to get out of the house and talk to other grownups lol.

You know, I think about doing that too! I actually did once...I got a part time job at a scrap booking store on the weekends only and it was awesome! I never made a paycheck, but it was fun for me and it got me out of the house and interacting with adults. (haha, it also got me LOTS of scrapbooking supplies, thus the no paycheck)

I meet with a small group of stay at home mom friends once a week for some adult conversation. I would go crazy if I didn't get that time. Between the 3 of us, we have 6 kids ranging from 3 months to 10 years old. The kids all get along so they play while we talk.

Yea, I'm in a local mom's group as well. The only problem is, they do stuff during the weekdays with their kids! And since I'm here with all these kids all day, it's just not possible for us to attend all these events. They do have mom's nights when they do stuff as well, but by the time my husband gets home at night, I'm too tired to do anything! lol.
I know, I'm impossible to please!! lol.

When my children were young I was a stay at home mom. I craved adult conversation and found that I was on the phone for long periods of time. I would make one phone call after another.

Hi MsJessi! I guess I'm two months late with this response. Anyway, I'm a stay-at-home, work-at-home mom like you are. My fiance and I have a web design business, and it's home-based. So we're both home all day long, unless, of course we need to meet a client outside the office. Aside from writing here at mylot, my fiance created a blogsite just for me so I could also write there too. http://www.paulynramirez.com You may visit everynow and then when you're bored and maybe comment on my thoughts too, when you feel like. We can also chat at YM if you feel like chatting... just let me know! Hope we can get the chance to have a great conversation sometime!

Well reading other stay at home moms replys make me feel better. I started to think that I was crazy, but it nice to know I'm not the only one. My husband laughs at me cause he walks in the door, and I don't shut up. I tell him all the time I just need a conversation that doesn't include, "why mommy", or "pleeeeeease".
